Sites or Companies to find contract designers
(OP)
Hi All-
I'm in the middle of starting my own business. I actually have three clients, and I'm having trouble keeping up with the work load. I'm starting to mess around with the notion of contracting a mechanical designer to help me out. It would be an "odd" arrangement (meaning that I don't know if I could pay him full-time yet), so I'm looking for a semi-retired designer. I know there was a site that TheTick mentioned in another thread, but I was wondering if there are any other sites that would lend themselves to this type of arrangement. I've tried to hire all the old blokes that I've worked with in the past, but they've all completely retired.
Thanks in advance, and if I'm not explaining this well enough, let me know.

Alternatively, I have looked into www.elance.com in the past regarding small project contract work. You might be able find someone up there... develop a relationship with that contractor and send work to him on an occasional basis.

We've had some experienced contract checkers from Butler at our sight, don't know what they have our your way.

Funny thing, I actually thought about you, but I wasn't sure how to work the coast to coast thing!
